The farnt aud fireside,
ASHES AGAINST VEGETABLE MATTER.

A suggestive lesson may be derived from
the following simple experiment: Upon one
acre of land a farmer plowed in quantity
of corn-stalks, while upon another acre he
spread the ashes resulting from the burning
of an equal quantity of stalks. That upon
which the stalks were burned gave the best
start, but the acre upon which the stalks
were plowed in soon caught up and surpass-
ed the former, and finally matured the bet
ter crop. This experiment illustrates the
difference between mineral fertilizers and
decayed vegetable matter or humus. The
minerals, being in soluble condition, soon
made themselves manifest in the increased
growth produced. At first the buried corn
stalks had no effect upon vegetation except
by increasing the porosity of the soil and by
admitting larger supplies sofatmospheric air
to act upon the constituents of the soil.
When the stalks commenced to decay, and
the minerals were not only liberated from
the stalks, but also from the soil in contact,
then the corn which was planted upon the
stalks began to pull ahead Of that planted
upon the plot fertilized with ashes. The
value and efficiency of the ashes would be
sooner exhausted than the vegetable matter
of thestalks. Again, where the stalks were
used the fertility of the soil would be In
creased, because "A all probability the nitro
intact until liberated by their decay. This
substance would be in the form of ammonia
and it's compounds, that would again be de-
composed before becoming plant food. In
burning stalks, although all the minerals
would be preserved in the ashes, yet it is
quite certain that the nitrogen would be
thereby expelled, thus robbing the plants of
the fertilizing properties of that valuable
agent. We should have made such expert
ments before establishing theory, yet these
suggestions might easily be followed out on
other farms and by other farmers.

A GRAND BENEVOLENCE
THE WORK OF ONE YEAR.

TVHE great fraternal beneficiary society, known
as the KNIGHTS OF HONOR, which has
50 rapidly extended itself all over the United
States, did grand work in 1886. During the
year 1885, there distributed in local charities
through the medium of 2600 subordinate lodges
scattered throughout the country, Sl2O,OOO This
fund was distributed without any cost of dis
bursement. and went at once and most oppor-
tunely to the needy. While this sum is a hand
some one in the aggregate, yet it was distributed
without being felt by any member, and was less
than S1.00 for each member of the order The
readiness with which the call for aid is respond
ed to by the membership is most commendable.
When Charleston was visited by the terrible
earthquakes of last summer, liberal contribu-
tions were sent forward by the various lodges
throughout the country, and only ceased to go
forward when no more were needed.
Aside from these noble charities, this great be-
nevolent order teaches its membership to pro-
vide for those dependent upon them, when the
members shall be called away from earth. 1t
provides that benefit of $1,000 shall be paid to
the family of every member who dies in good
standing in the ORDER This fund is raised by
assessments upon each individual member.
During 1886, twenty-one assessments were called
to the Supreme Lodge Treasury, and there was
paid out from the sum thus realized, in death
benefits to the families and dependents of de-
ceased members, during the year, 50, l23, ,O0O.
These payments went, in the main, to those who
otherwise would have left nothing for the sup
port of their families. They were enabled to do
this for the reason that the assessments are paid
in sums of one or two dollars per month for each
member, through the agency of his Subordinate
Lodge:
When we add to this benefit fund of S3, 123, 900,
the Sl20 900 disbursed as local charities, we have
the grand total of 80, ,243, 900 disbursed by the
KNIGHTS OF HONOR during 1885, What a
noble work was this, and how many widows and
orphans have been kept from want, and comfort
ed in the hour Of distress and need, by the quiet
but effective labors of this great brotherhood.
HOME RELIEF LODGE OF YORkVILLE
is in prosperous condition, but its efficiency for
the benevolent purposes of the order would be
improved by increased membership. TO give
all who would avail themselves of the opportu-
nifty to join the fees for initiation in the Lodge

THE RION ROMANCE.

The sensational story which we copied
| from the NeaUs and Courier last week con-
corning the royal descent of the late James
| H. Rion of Winnsboro has been exploded by
Willie G.. Rion, the eldest son OF Colonel
Rion, who, in letter to the columbia
correspondent ofthe Ne,rs d'1d Courier, says
"True, as I told you, there are evidences
that he himself believed that he was the
son of the Dauphin, but, as far as proofs
are concerned that he was in reality SUCH
person, there are none. DIR. X. Is. Hanna
han, the attending physician, at the time OF
the statement, and the following morning,
expressed it as his opinion that father was
under the influence of morphine. The ar
ticle Blood of the Bourbons,' rs yesterday
printed, is in nearly all particulars errone'
Gus, and as far as publication by the family
is concerned, that is simply ridiculous.
You can deny the truth of the statement
as published, upon my authority, and also
state that father was under the influence OF
morphine when the strange story was told
by him." :.
The Augusta Chronicle thus curtly dis
poses of the question:
The son of King Louis XVI, known as
the Dauphin, died no doubtin childhood,
the victim of the French Revolution. 1t
appears that, under the influence of NOR
phine, in his last days, Col. Rion, of Wins
boro, imagined that he was the son of the
Dauphin, who survived the cruelties OF
his keeper, married and had issue. The
family of Col. Rion repudiate this idea and
take no stock in professions of royal descent.
Some years ago, Rev. Eleazar Williams
made similar claim. Anybody who has
Putnana's Magazine can 60 through the
whole case circumstantially. The Dau-
phin died in childhood. We have no
mysterious Bourbon Princes or their des-
cendants in America. All claims on that
as the attempt of some romancers to con-
vert Michael Rudolph, of Lees Legion,
into Marshal Ney. The Dauphin died in
boyhood. Michael Ney was shot and kill
ed in Paris. They are still dead.
THE sNUFF-BoX STORY.
A correspondent of the Newberry Herald
and Ne,cs says that just before the breaking
out of our war highly educated SWede,
named RammerskOld, settled in Lincoln
ton, N. c., to engage in the iron business ;
that abandoning his business to enter the
Confederate army, he became impoverish-
ed, and that after the war, in order to raise
money, he sold valuable diam0nd.studded
gold snuff box, said to have been a gift OF
the King of Sweden, to Col. l.. d. Childs,
of Columbia, who subsequently presented it
to Col. Rion. The correspondent thinks
that this is the alleged Orleans snuff box.
He is correct. The snuff box bears the let
ter O., and 6 crown set in diamonds. 1t
has not the Orleans Monogram. The initial
is probably that of Oscar /, king of Sweden
and Norway, born 1859. Col. Rion's family
knew the history of this snuff box, and his
reference to it, as proof of his Orleans de-
scent, they considered an evidence that he
was under the influence of morphine when
he made his dying declaration.

yIyHE immense amount of Life Insurance car
i ried in this country makes it of National
importance that heads of families should be able
to secureit cheaply as possible consistent with
safety Especially is this necessary for the mil
lions of men in moderate circumstances, who
must earn their living by hard knocks and in
| the face of competition that is becoming Keen
er and sharper every day.
If life insurance is not safe 1t IS not worth car
rying, and if it is too costly, the men who most
| need it cannot carry it all. How to make it both
safe and cheap is the problem of the day, and ne
who solves it will have done great and patriot
ic service for his fellow men. The Old Line
Companies are certainly safe when honestly
managed but their rates are so high, that only
the rich can afford to carry such an amount as
would provide for family, while the great mass
| of men, and those too whose families most neeu
protection, are compelled to 60 without insur-
| ance or seek it in the assessment companies or
secret orders. The fact that these cheaper 1nstl-
tutions are to-day furnishing more insurance
how eager are the mass Of citizens for insurance
that is within reach of their means. While these
orders and corporations are furnishing insurance
cheap enough, yet, at BEST they can only be
looked upon as temporary expedlents ana not a.
where between the old line and assessment plans
there must be a middle ground, which is not
only safe. but Just and tair to all parties.
The ElNIER-SIAIES LIE T. LAooOC1AI LIN
of Staunton Va, has sought earnestly and hon.
estly to find this middle ground. In this search
they have, at large expense, consulted and en-
ployed the foremost actuaries and insurance ex-
perts in this country, and upon their recommen-
dation have adopted line of rates which is en-
tirely safe, and yet, is in the reach Of every
thrifty and industrious man who desires to pro-
tect his family against his death.
TO ascertain this safe rate, they added to the
death cost experienced by the old line com:
panies an ample reserve. and then reasonable
amount for expenses and profits. but so limited
as to compel economical management Soplain
and fair and popular are its methods that over
three millions of business was done in the first
eight months work. It's rates are fixed, and
must be paid, deaths orno deaths, but are divided
into two, four, or six payments year, as may
best suit the convenience of the applicant.

YNHE undersigned begs leave to call attention
L to the MERINO ELASTIC FELT GUN
WADDING, the only perfectly safe wadding for
choke-bore breech-loading shot guns. BY the
use Of this wad the recol of gun is lessened, the
distribution Of the shot is more regular, and the
range and penetration are greater. Another adj
vantage is that the gun is kept cleaner than
when any other wad is used. Try them. They
are put up in boxes holding 256 wads and are
made in two grades. The price for the first grade
is forty cents per box the second grade twenty
five cents. The first grade should be used over
the powder-the second grade over the shot.
The first grade wads are from one-half to three
eights of an inch in thickness, which makes them
cheaper than any other wad in the market, as
only one of the first grade wads is necessary on
the powder, and one Of the second grade over
the shot, to give the best results. If you use a
u gauge gun with brass shells, buy No. 9 wads.
For paper shells use No. II wads. For guns of
different gauge for brass shells, use wad three
sizes larger than the bore; for paper shells, one
size larger. BY this means the gases from the
powder will be perfectly confined and the very
best results obtained.
Sample boxes will be sent by mail on receipt
forty cents for the first grade and twenty-five
cents for the second grade Address,
